How to choose RV air conditioner?
In our RV journey life, the core accessories on the car often determine the quality of our trip. Buying a car is like buying a house. In the process of buying a house, the air conditioner is our indispensable electrical appliance.
Generally, we can see two types of air conditioners in motorhomes, which are divided into dedicated air conditioners for motorhomes and household air conditioners. Needless to say, the benefits of dedicated air conditioners are fully matched with the installation of the vehicle. They are specially designed for motorhomes in terms of design, energy consumption, space, and shock resistance. Optimized; while the home air conditioner is designed for the home, most of the RVs are refitted by car users. The home air conditioner indoor unit takes up a lot of space and cannot be guaranteed in terms of wiring, insulation and waterproofing. Most importantly, the indoor unit is easy to loosen in the turbulence of driving, which brings safety hazards.
Special air conditioners for RVs are divided into top-mounted air conditioners and bottom-mounted air conditioners.
Top-mounted air conditioners: easy to install and take up less space, but because there is no pipeline transmission, the cooling and heating effect is slightly inferior to that of bottom-mounted air conditioners.
Bottom-mounted air conditioner: cooling and heating are more efficient than overhead air-conditioning. However, the installation process is complicated, and air ducts need to be laid under the car box and the floor, which is difficult to install later, and it will also occupy the storage space in the car, so the amount of storage is relatively small.
Air conditioners are also divided into fixed frequency air conditioners and inverter air conditioners.
Fixed frequency air conditioner: Set the required temperature after turning on the machine. After reaching the specified temperature, the machine will continue to run. Because it is always running, it will consume more electricity than inverter air conditioners. It is mostly used in low-end air conditioners in motorhomes.
Inverter air conditioner: Set the required temperature after turning on the machine. When the specified temperature is reached, the machine will stop running. Compared with the fixed frequency air conditioner, it will save a lot of electricity. It is mostly used in high-end air conditioners in motor homes.
From the power supply type, it is divided into 12V, 24V, and 220V air conditioners.
12V and 24V parking air conditioners: Although electricity is safer, it requires a lot of current and requires a very high battery capacity.
220V parking air conditioner: It can be connected to the mains when parking in the camp, but in the absence of an external power supply, it can rely on a large-capacity battery and inverter for a short time, and it needs to be used with a generator for a long time.
All in all, for the pursuit of comfort and convenience in use, the use of 220V parking air conditioner is the most applicable, and it is also the most loaded form of motorhomes in the world.
